Chapter 29 Shopping alone
A mother's child is like a treasure. Everything Li Xingxing bought is paid by Li Xiuhong.
Super generous, without hesitation!
Li Xingxing held her arm and continued to act coquettishly: "Mom, it seems that we can't get back tonight. Let's go to the hotel to book a room first, unload the things there and then go out to go shopping. It's easier."
Are you tired if you carry dozens of kilograms of things?
Anyway, she is very tired.
Li Xiuhong said docilely: "Mom listen to you."
The mother and daughter transferred to a large-scale guesthouse and took a household registration book and letter of introduction to handle accommodation.
Li Xingxing chose the best double room, one piece of one and two a night, on the third floor, with a separate bathroom.
"Mom, you must be exhausted all the way." Li Xingxing spread out the half-new quilt that was not old and patched, and forced Li Xiuhong to the bed and took off his cotton shoes. "I asked the waiter to ask for some hot water, burn the newly purchased underwear, and wash it."
She is sweet-mouthed and can speak, and she compliments the waiter almost couldn't find Bei.
"The thermos can't be broken, a pot of hot water costs a cent." They are all charged.
"Don't worry!" Li Xingxing's eyes turned, and then sighed, "We came to the city to visit our sick relatives. We specially brought some fine grains, but they moved away without saying hello."
Hearing the word "fine grain", the young waitress envied: "fine grain? Do you actually have fine grain?"
Li Xingxing smiled, "Just a little."
"Even if one pound is good, you don't know how short the supply in the city is. Although the supply of 25 pounds of food for an ordinary adult citizen has not decreased, corn flour, which belongs to coarse grains, is listed as fine grains, and rice, flour, and poultry and eggs are almost impossible to see." The waiter sighed. She hasn't bought good things like rice, flour and other things in three months.
"Life is much more stable than in our countryside, at least you don't have to worry about the out-of-cooking food all the time." Li Xingxing showed a hint of envy appropriately, "It's getting late, so I won't disturb your work."
I returned to the room with a kettle and found that Li Xiuhong was extremely tired and asleep.
Li Xingxing was overjoyed!
Cover Li Xiuhong with a quilt, wash her underwear and hang it on a chair, remove the rice and flour from the basket, stuff a note into Li Xiuhong's palm, and then go to the bathroom to get some things from the wholesale supermarket to fill the basket, and go shopping alone!
If someone follows you, it is inconvenient to do anything.
As she walked around, she found that the only one of the more prosperous cross streets was the most prosperous area. There were also simple adobe thatched huts in the remote areas of the city, and many yellow-faced, thin-skinned and ragged residents.
Fatty, no one has ever seen.
After a while, Li Xingxing turned around and turned to the prosperous land.
Maybe I met the guesthouse waitress who had just gotten off work and her eyes fell on the basket with a lid behind Li Xingxing.
Even though Li Xingxing wrapped half of her face with a scarf after going out, she still recognized her.
Clothes and baskets are not wrong.
He took two steps in front of Li Xingxing. The waitress pulled her to a remote place and lowered her voice and said, "Sister, are there fine grains for visiting relatives in your basket?"
She didn't forget what Li Xingxing said at the guesthouse.
Li Xingxing's heart moved and nodded with a smile.
The waiter's eyes flashed and he asked, "Can you sell me some?"
Li Xingxing asked back: "You have monthly supply, do you need to buy it?"
"Why don't you need it? Although there is no policy, eggs and meat have been stopped for ordinary citizens, and only cadres can enjoy it. I told you that it has been cancelled long ago and cannot be bought without cancellation." The waiter explained quickly and continued to whisper: "Sell it to me, the price will be available for you."
Li Xingxing said in embarrassment: "I don't want to sell it, after all, it's something that even if I have money, I can't buy it."
Grandpa specially explained this history to her. The food prices in the three-year difficult period were the most crazy. In the later period, Yanjing's grain coupons soared to four or five yuan per catty, and the food price was only high or not low.
Seeing that Li Xingxing was not very determined, the waiter continued to work hard and said, "Just be fine, I'll give you five dollars per pound!"
